Swissotel Buyuk Efes Izmir

Great hotel.

All aspects of my stay at the hotel were excellent. If I am to give any constructive criticism of my experience at the hotel is that the staff servicing the hotel guests around the pool area fell short with both courtesy and attentiveness. Apart from that my stay was exceptional and I will highly recommend the hotel to all and look forward to my next visit there.

The hotels is very well kept (maintenance is usually an issue in Turkey) but the swiss hotel is doing it very good. The family room that we had was super spacious and great with 2 bathroom, small balcony and good view of garden. The hotel pool was also very clean and good and not that busy during summer time. The beverages are a bit expensive for Turkey but if you order food that should be good. They prepared us some welcome package in the room which was nice. The location is very close to the nice areas in Izmir that you can go out for dinner and drink and walk beside sea.

Excellent property, great food for buffet breakfast and room service. This is a large hotel complex with many places to sit by a pool or in nature or to enjoy coffee and pastries in the lobby. The indoor pool was a bit hard to find in a separate building with the spa facilities. Very few people used it. It has a whirlpool and many places to lounge. It is 1.4 meters deep and is large enough for swimming laps. They provide ample. Towels and even found a noodle for me to use for water aerobics. The housekeeping staff was friendly and provided great service. The rooms are very standardized and functional, and the hotel has a large collection of original are and sculpture, such as a famous Botero at the entrance.

All very nice, comfortable and clean. Calm rooms, artwork everywhere, beautiful courtyard,... nothing to complain about. Excellent location in town, near old center and very well connected to bus, metro and ferry.
